Cary Man Stabbed in Parking Spot Altercation, Durham Woman Arrested
A Cary man remains hospitalized in critical condition after being stabbed multiple times during a parking dispute at a Morrisville Walmart. The incident occurred Wednesday evening in the busy lot of the Walmart Supercenter on Shiloh Glenn Drive. Police identified the suspect as Tikira Norman, 38, of Durham, who allegedly used a butcher knife during the attack.
Surveillance footage showed Norman repeatedly striking the victim. The two were strangers, and the confrontation began over a parking space, according to police. Norman was arrested early Thursday and charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. She is being held on a $35,000 bond at the Wake County Detention Center.
The altercation has left the community unsettled, serving as a stark reminder of how trivial disputes can spiral into violence. Read Full Report
NCDOT Prepares Wake County
for Winter Weather Challenges
As winter approaches, the North Carolina Department of Transportation is ramping up its preparations to handle inclement weather in Wake County. With two years of mild winters behind them, crews are inspecting and testing snowplows, salt sprayers, and brine tanks to ensure equipment is in top condition.
Wake County is stocked with more than 5,000 tons of salt, in addition to sand and brine, a pre-treatment mixture that can be applied to roads up to two days before a storm.
Key areas of focus include bridges, overpasses, and elevated highways like I-40 and I-87, which are particularly prone to freezing. The department has also expanded its fleet of trucks to respond more effectively to storms. Although some resources remain allocated to Hurricane Helene recovery efforts in western North Carolina, plans are in place to bring those assets back as needed.
Recent snowfall in western areas such as Beech Mountain and Banner Elk serves as a timely reminder of the unpredictability of winter weather. By taking these proactive steps, NCDOT aims to ensure Wake County remains ready for whatever the season brings. Read Full Report

Tar Heels and Wolfpack Set for Rivalry Clash in Chapel Hill
The North Carolina Tar Heels and NC State Wolfpack will meet at Kenan Stadium this Saturday in a highly anticipated ACC rivalry matchup. Both teams are looking to rebound from losses last weekend, with the Tar Heels falling 41-21 to Boston College and the Wolfpack narrowly losing 30-29 to Georgia Tech.
For the Tar Heels, the focus will be on improving offensive execution after a game that saw quarterback Jacolby Criswell struggle with three interceptions and no touchdowns. Running back Omarion Hampton and tight end John Copenhaver were bright spots but will need more support from the team to secure a victory.
The Wolfpack, meanwhile, will lean on quarterback CJ Bailey’s dual-threat ability. Bailey rushed for 83 yards and three touchdowns in his last outing, while Daylan Smothers contributed a 79-yard rushing performance with a touchdown. Both teams have shown flashes of potential but must limit mistakes to prevail in this critical matchup.
Betting odds slightly favor North Carolina, but the game promises to be tightly contested. With postseason implications on the line and a deep-seated rivalry at play, Saturday’s game is expected to be one of the season’s most exciting showdowns.
Read Full Report

The University of North Carolina (UNC) Tar Heels and the North Carolina State (NC State) Wolfpack are scheduled to play their final regular-season game against each other on Saturday, November 30, 2024, at 3:30 PM Eastern Time at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇
France holds the record for the most time zones of any country, with a total of 12 when including its overseas territories. These time zones span from mainland France (Central European Time) to regions like French Polynesia in the Pacific and Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean. This wide range reflects France’s historical colonial reach, making it a truly global presence in terms of geography and timekeeping.
